Smart ceiling light showdown: Aqara T1M versus Nanoleaf Skylight


Aqara T1M versus Nanoleaf Skylight. Which is the best smart ceiling light?

After testing them simultaneously for two weeks, I loved how each product lit up dark areas of my house where I previously relied on a single smart bulb in an ancient ceiling fixture. I just typed in “Sunday Morning,” and it conjured up a soothing palette of warm pinks and beiges intermingled with white, and “Tropical Paradise” created a fun sea of turquoise, blues, and greens. Wi-Fi can still be an unreliable protocol for lights, and in testing, while the Skylight never dropped offline, I had frequent trouble controlling it with the Nanoleaf app, which is slow and buggy and crashes constantly or requires restarts.
